Polestar 6 ‘LA Concept’ was announced around two weeks ago, when 500 slots were open. Now, all the slots are booked for a vehicle that is set to release in the market by 2026. Polestar offers a fresh design and manufacturing process for its EVs, which is unique. The demand for vehicles is increasing over time.

In the fall of 2020, the automaker announced its Precept concept would be transitioned into a production model, even offering a documentary series following its design journey. A year later, Polestar confirmed our suspicions that the Precept would, in fact, be known as the Polestar 5 sports sedan. That EV recently made its first public (cameoed) debut at Goodwood Festival this past July, ahead of production in 2024.

In March, we attended a special unveiling in Los Angeles that showcased Polestar’s O² roadster concept, complete with a deployable autonomous drone and a sporty, compact, roadster body. Like the Precept, Polestar followed up with welcomed news earlier this month that the O² roadster concept would see scaled production as the Polestar 6 in 2026. This launch will begin with 500 numbered “LA Concept” editions of the Polestar 6, followed by more standard versions. Today, Polestar shared that, in less than a week, all 500 of those initial “LA Concept” versions have been spoken for.

High interest from customers

Polestar shared the news of encouraging demand for the Polestar 6 in a press release on Tuesday, stating that all 500 slots sold out within a week of the EVs production announcement on the wings of public debuts of the O² concept at the Quail and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath shared in the excitement surrounding the upcoming roadster. “The high interest from our customers shows that a stunning electric roadster like Polestar 6 has high relevance in the sports car arena. The open-top-plus-electric combination is clearly one that appeals to even the most die-hard petrol heads.”

According to Polestar’s website, the “LA Concept” edition of the Polestar 6 will start at an “indicative” MSRP of $200,000 and require $25,000 down to secure one of the 500 available build slots. That already equates to $12.5 million in reservations alone.

If and when it launches in 2026, the “LA Concept” Polestar 6 features an exclusive Sky blue exterior and will be numbered 1 through 500 to mark its limited production run. Following the first 500 launch editions, Polestar will begin production of regular versions of the Polestar 6 roadster. The Swedish EV automaker said that because of the high initial demand for the “LA Concept” version of the Polestar 6, it plans to open reservations for the regular versions later in 2022. The next EV to arrive will be the Polestar 3 SUV, which will make its world debut in October.

Dodge Pauses Entry-Level Charger Daytona R/T for 2026 Amid Shifting Market and Tariff Pressures

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will not be part of the 2026 model year lineup, according to Dodge CEO Matt McAlear. While Dodge hasn’t completely ruled out the trim’s return in the future, the automaker has officially postponed its production for now. The reason? A combination of market shifts and uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies. "Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies,” McAlear said in a statement to Motor1. Instead, Dodge will sharpen its focus on high-performance offerings, like the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, and upcoming internal combustion alternatives. Scat Pack Takes Center Stage With the R/T trim off the table, the Daytona Scat Pack now becomes the sole all-electric Charger variant available for 2026. And it’s no slouch. Delivering 670 horsepower from its dual-motor setup, the Scat Pack is targeting mid-11-second quarter-mile times. However, the performance comes at the cost of range, 241 miles per the EPA estimate, a step down from the R/T’s 308 miles. That boost in performance also brings a steeper price tag. The Scat Pack will sit around $60,000 after factoring in the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. In contrast, the now-shelved R/T was expected to be a more accessible entry point to the electric muscle segment, slipping in under $50,000 with the same tax break. Lagging Sales, Overstuffed Lots Market data supports Dodge’s decision. Charger sales fell by a staggering 54 percent in 2024. The first-quarter sales of electric Chargers in 2025 totaled just 1,947 units, a mix of both R/T and Scat Pack trims. Meanwhile, Mopar Insiders reported that approximately 3,500 R/T units are still sitting unsold in dealer inventories. This lukewarm reception has highlighted a broader issue: despite the impressive specs, the brand’s electric offerings haven’t captured the hearts of traditional Dodge enthusiasts, many of whom remain loyal to internal combustion. The Sixpack Rises To address this, Dodge is introducing a new four-door variant, the Charger Sixpack, aimed at muscle fans not quite ready to embrace electrification. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Sixpack will be available in both standard-output (420 hp) and high-output (550 hp) trims. Though exact pricing hasn’t been revealed, it's expected to slot in around the price point previously held by the R/T. The new platform, STLA Large, is designed to support both EVs and ICE models, giving Dodge flexibility to pivot as demand dictates. Looking Ahead While the Charger Daytona R/T may be gone for now, its future isn’t completely off the table. Dodge is keeping a close eye on market dynamics, government policies, and consumer behavior as it fine-tunes its approach. With the Scat Pack holding the electric torch and the Six Pack catering to combustion purists, Dodge’s strategy appears focused on streamlining its offerings while covering both sides of the propulsion spectrum. As more details about the 2026 Charger lineup emerge, muscle car fans and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention. The muscle car isn’t dead, it’s just adapting.
